TVFrances Lefebure today met Mrs. Aerts, a brave lady who has been fighting cancer since 2010 and continues to have every confidence in her oncologist. Her optimism touches Frances deeply, because she saw her mother lose the battle to the same cancer. “I noticed that it did more with me.”

Frances also wonders where the woman gets her strength from. “Staying positive”, it sounds quickly. “They have always been able to help me.” After the meeting with Mrs. Aerts, Frances was once again off the map. “That took a while. After her shift, Frances pays a visit to Stefaan. They visit Paulien together for a chat and give the cute baby Estelle a bottle.
Besides Frances, Metejoor also had a hard time today. The singer got to know coma patient Patrick today. Patrick is in vegetative status and is completely dependent on the healthcare staff to survive. That thought seriously hits Metejoor. “You don’t know what the future holds for that man. That was the hardest moment for me so far.”
Fortunately, the atmosphere at Jonas was a bit lighter. Jonas and his mentor do an intake interview with Mia who is new to the geriatric ward. He and her go through a standard questionnaire, with some remarkable questions. “Are you taking drugs?” it sounds like at one point.
Soon our five BVs will have to work a night shift for the first time and that naturally includes crazy and funny anecdotes from the professionals. “You really do something with this sometimes. Suddenly, for example, someone is sitting naked in the middle of his chair.” Fortunately, the nurses themselves can laugh about it. “That makes the nights just as interesting.” But will Metejoor, Nora, Frances, Stefaan and Jonas soon feel the same way?
